Indio, California: I took today off. No running. I slept-in. Lazy. It's not as if I had anything to do anyway.

On a cold winter day, a girl just wants a bowl of hot soup... so we went to lunch at a new Vietnamese noodle shop - Pho Vu (79-630 Hwy 111 #103, 760.775.2417) for a bowl of pho. The restaurant has been open for 10 days and it was full at one o'clock in the afternoon. The owner said his restaurant has been packed from 11a-9p ever since he opened!

Things are looking-up in the social department as Mary & Captain Jim have finally returned to the Motorcoach Country Club after a two-month-long vacation from a vacation in Maui. (Seriously, how bad can it be when you have to leave your luxury RV site in the Palm Springs area to vacation in Hawaii for two months???)
Mary & Captain Jim drove their golf cart from their campsite to our campsite for cocktails. This is a one block drive. Jim had to tap into our electricity as their golf cart was basically D-E-A-D after a two month vacation. We caught up. We discussed Hawaii. We discussed grandchildren (they are experienced in this general area) and we discussed our fun RV lifestyle.
We decided to have dinner at one of their favorite restaurants that just happens to be in the same strip mall as the Vietnamese noodle shop we visited at lunch. Tasty House Wine Bar is an interesting Asian-Italian-European fusion place with a good wine list and a huge menu. Something for everyone.



Tomorrow we will be experiencing a first-of-a-kind-for-us RV experience. I hope you all check back to see how we fare.
Until my next update, I remain, your well fed correspondent.
